Adil Raja strongly condemned Pakistani forces for airstrikes in Afghanistan’s Paktika province that killed members of a local cricket team and numerous civilians, including women and children, describing it as a display of “murderous arrogance” by the Punjabi-dominated military mindset.
This disgusting display of murderous arrogance by the Punjabi-dominated mindset infecting the military junta of Pakistan and their minions threatens to destroy peace and cohesion in the region. https://t.co/XQa8IKcEDr

Reports confirm that three Afghan domestic cricketers—Kabeer, Sibghatullah, and Haroon—were among at least 40 people killed in the late-night strikes, prompting the Afghanistan Cricket Board to withdraw from an ongoing tri-series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Prominent Afghan players like Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi expressed outrage, labeling the attacks as “barbaric” and highlighting the loss of innocent lives, including children, amid escalating border tensions.
Raja warned that such actions could provoke retaliation and destabilize regional peace, linking them to broader tensions and failed military strategies
اب جب افغانستان والے جوابی وار کریں گے تو عسکرانڈو گروپ بولے گا کہ فوج کیساتھ کھڑے ہو۔ تم آنکھیں بند کرکے جرنیلوں کے ڈالروں اور اپنی تنخواہوں کے لئے پنگا لو اور ہم سے نعرے مارنے کی توقع بھی رکھو۔ بس اب یہ پھدو نہیں چلے گا!
